After a
medium day of motoring into the current and the wind we arrived at our next anchorage,
Manatee Pockets, which is just SE of Stuart, Fl. We enjoy stopping here. The Manatee
Pocket’s are a nice, well protected anchorage that has a free dock with access
to many shops, stores and friends! The old channel was dredged a few years back
and now boosts 9 ft of water with a generous area for transients to anchor in.
It’s only 10 minutes from the ICW and services are within a long walking
distance, though, having a bike would be a better idea here. That’s why the
first thing that I did was I spent several hours doing the annual repair work
on our two folding bikes.

Friends of
ours took us to the “Marine Liquidators”. It’s a marine store that's filled
from floor to ceiling with racks of boat parts that they buy at
liquidation sales. It was like being in a toy store for boaters! Outside were
several anchors and stuff on display (both old and new) so, Walt and I decided
that the Snow goose needed an upgrade to her armament…. So we stole their
cannon! (It was a bit heavy to carry back to the boat but, we have been working out lately).

| on the right it's nothing but propellers. |
Just for a bit of fun, we treated ourselves and went to the movies and saw......
WHAT FUN!
